A syndicate has purchased over
10000 acres of valuable ore produc-
ing land in Greenbrier county, this
State. The tract lies along the base
of the mountains north of White
Sulpher and including Little Iron
Mountains and is considered the
ore district in West Virginia on ac-
count of the purity of the ores and
the facility with which it may be
mined. Two railroads are projected
to run through the tract. 1t is
claimed that they will be built
shortly.

During the Republican admins
trations immense grants of the pub

road as subsidies. During Cleve-

these grants, containing many mill

But few days since a large tract
was taken out of the clutches of the
Atlantic and pacific Railroad, and
opened for settlement. Such action
deserves the warmest commenda-

West Virginia to-day will exceed
any State in the West for grazing
purposes, and will yield almost as
much wheat and corn to the acre as
any State in the Union, although its
uneven surface makes it harder to
cultivate. In addition to our soil
we have the finest coal FIELDS af any
like area in the world. it is the con
temptible idleness of our people that
prevents us from taking a front
seat.

Hurrah for JEFF Davis I
A worse than Useless Hoard.
Buffalo Courier

OhAbAO SOuAlCAs
The New York Tribune informs
the country that the gold held by
the Treasury in its vaults at Wash
ington weighs $40 tons, If packed
into ordinary carts, one ton to each
cart, it would make procession two
miles long, allowing twenty feet of
space for the movement of each
horse and cart. The silver in the
same vaults weighs 1896 TONS
Measuring it in the carts, as in the
case of the gold, it would require
the services of 1896 horses and
carts to transport it, and would
make a procession over twenty-one
miles in length. Most of this vast
amount of money, lying useless and
producing no increase, represents
unnecessary taxation of the people.
1t is money withdrawn from circu-
lation and business by the operation
ola war-tax tariff that is constantly
bleeding the people, and yet so 81
lently that they do not feel the pro-
cess, and are not likely to until the
moment of collapse. The people are
being drained of their means of
doing business and carrying on their
affairs, to increase the enormous
and worse than useless hoard at
Washington.

Our Monument.
CHARLEsroN, AUG. I3, lss7.

CHARLESTON, Aug. ID, 1887.
Editor Register: / perceive from a
paragraph in local newspaper, that
funds are being raised by citizens of
your county, for the purpose of
COMMUNICATING the heroism of the
brave men who fell in the anti-Rev-
dictionary battle of Point Pleasant.
May the Monument worthily reflect
their devoted patriOtisml
In the long session of the Virgin
ia Legislature of 1889, L happen
ed to be the Representative from
the county of Kanawha. AT that
session took occasion to introduce
in the House of Delegates, a meas
ure looking to the erection of a
monument at Point Pleasant, to sui
tably perpetuate the fame of the
fallen great, whose names live only
in tradition or on the pages of his
tory.
1t is, perhaps, not out of place to
say that the humble tribute, felt
called upon to pay to the illustrious
soldiers whose dust must ever be
sacred in the memory of those who
value the heritage of Yirginia's
proud name, and was embodied in
the few sentences 1 then expressed,
and which were published in the
Richmond WHig of that date, Cand
perhaps other papers, and that ma
ny descendants of the martyred he
rOes of that Indian conflict, private
" thanked me, by letter, for the lit
tie l had done in the direction of a
public recognition of the noble dar-
ing of their brave sires.
My colleague from the county of
Mason, was my friend, the late Maj.
Charles CIendenin, whose heart was
too full of emotion, on that occasion
to find expression save in tears
Col. Frederick Moore, of Wayne
county, who represented that and
the adjoining county of CabelI, was
equally affected with patriotic emo
ton.
Among other representatives in
that body was the late Lieutenant
Governor Price, of Greenbrier, and
the following still surviving disting-
uished gentlemen, all now residing
in this city: Col. B. w Byrne, then
representing the counties of Lewis,
Braxton and Gilmer; Judge James
III. Ferguson, then representing the
counties of Logan and Boone, and
Capt. John S. Burdett, then repre-
senting the counties of Taylor and
all of whom were ardent ad-
vOcates of some decisive tribute that
should mark the high appreciation
in which the names of these gallant
men were held by the State at
large. The vote upon the PROPOSE
ton introduced, was unanimous, but
no further steps, as 1 now recollect,
we're ever taken towards the erect
ion of the projected monument.
Very respectfully, &c,
JAMES VI. LAIDLEY.

Points 10 be Q,onsldereal.

every intelligent man who reads the
political platforms which have been
put forth recently, that all the evils
recited in said platforms and all
ments of the body polite which need
treatment are the result and out
growth of republican legislation.
The surplus revenue, which is an
nually being covered into the o. S.
Treasury, instead of the pockets OF
the people where it rightly belongs,
is the natural consequence of the so
called protective policy of therepub-
liean party, which protects and en-
riches favored few manufacturers
while it robs and impoverishcs the
army of consumers, the demands of
the people for correction of this
evil, by reduction of taxation, have
also been rendered abortive, hereto
fore by the united opposition of the
republican party, assisted by few
republicanized democrats, to every
measure looking to the much needed
relief The bitter complaints that
the public domain has been squan-
dered and diverted from its legiti-
mate purpose of furnishing homes to
actual settlers, who would aid in de-
veloping the country, is due to the
wasteful extravaganza of the repub-
Iican party in substituting railroad
syndicates, without the slightest re-
gard as to whether they carried out
their part of the contract or not Civ
ing away the peoples property, in
fact without "quid pro quo. The
shameful decadence of our navy is
inexcusable, inasmuch as immense
sums of money were annually APP
propriated for building new ships,
and keeping in repair those already
built, which were misapplied, or un-
accounted for by former republican
secretaries. The almost total disap-
pearance from the seas of American
merchant vessels is due to the I'M
just tariff laws enacted by the re-
publican party, the operation of
which is to exclude this country in
a great measure from the commerce
of the world.
The democratic party has been
striving vigorously to apply the
proper remedies for all these evils,
and has made commendable pro-
gress, considering the opposition it
has had to encounter In regard to
recovering the public lands and the
restoration of the American Navy
to its pristine glory, Democratic
Administration has done great
deal, but, as before stated, all efforts
to revise and equalize the tariff laws
have up to this time been baked by
republican opposition, and it is by
far the most Important question be-
fore the American people to-day.
The democratic party pledges itself
to persevere in its efforts in the
direction of reducing taxes, and the
republican party, if the platform
promulgated in Ohio lately, is to be
taken as the keynote, is determin-
ed to continue it's opposition. In
view of these facts, which are so
plain that wayfaring men cannot
fail to see them, there can be no
doubt but that the interest of the
masses of the people lays in the
retention of the democratic party
in power.-iStatesman.
